The GST rate on government work generally depends on the type of service provided. In many cases, works contract services provided to the Government, State Government, or local authorities attract 12% GST if they relate to infrastructure such as roads, bridges, canals, or public utilities. However, some contracts may fall under 18% GST depending on the nature of the service and project classification.

For sub-contract work, the GST rate usually follows the rate applicable to the main contractor's service, though specific notifications may provide concessional rates in certain cases. Because GST rules for government contracts can vary based on the project type and contract terms, it's advisable to consult experts like Compliance Doctor for accurate GST classification and compliance support.
